80k+ Weapon Combinations? Wut?

So, I've been looking around the projectego forums and googling some stuff and have seen a few things about these so called 80,000+ different weapon combination/ morphs in Fable 3. So are there truely that many unique weapon types? Or is this going to be another "Borderlands Fiasco" where they mainly have 10 to about 30, or 40-ish different weapon styles and they just have minor stat changes? :hmm:

we're leaning towards borderlands fiasco. there will be many "base weapons" to choose from (katana, cutlass, hammer, etc...) and each potential step in metamorphosis, we believe, is being referred to as 1 of those 80,000 different weapons.

Aw man I was really hoping for something unique here but ah well can't expect a perfect game I suppose. Thanks for clearing that up!

But everyone's weapon is going to be different! You'll see!

That's what I hate about PM. He's got his head so far up his own arse that he can't actually see what's actually in his games.

*sigh* Peter is always so enthusiastic. The way I see it, if you use your weapon for evil, it will look evil and vice versa. The weapon will change based on its level and alignment (confirmed in the various interviews). So, everyone who plays as the same aligment as you will have the exact same weapon eventually.

This game is either going to be very good or very bad. They said they had a great story this time, but the cardboard villain in the preview does not bode well for depth... (This is my Albion. The people will do as I say, or they will die.)

From what I hear, killing a lot of something wil morph your weapon to match it.

Killing undead gives you a bony sword for example.

I don't like this, seeing a Paladin Player might not want a bony sword.

THIS ^ This is what I was worried about exactly. In fable 2 I enjoyed killing undead so much, at 2000-ish undead kills nothing else has more than 400^_^
But, a boney sword for killing them, will deffinately not be something I want

Re: 80k+ Weapon Combinations? Wut?

Hallelujah!
People are finally starting to get that morphing weapons are dumb idea...
They should have let us make our custom weapons...
For example... you go to blacksmith, buy a sword and then decide how it will look like and what stats will it have and then improve those stats and the looks of weapon each lvl...
That way we can have weapon that looks and does what we want and it will be totally unique to us and have very small chance of finding same weapon being used by someone else...
And they should let us name that weapon...

Re: 80k+ Weapon Combinations? Wut?

It'll be like this:

Model:
Longsword
Cutlass
Cleaver
Axe
Hammer

Design:
Runes
Lines
Circles

Color Scheme:
Black and Red
White and Blue
Gold and Blue
Red and Grey

Add-Ons:
Daggers
Spikes
Double Blades

Effects:
+10% damage to undead
+25% damage to Balverine



Somewhat like that I believe. Right there is a good bit of weapons that can be formed, but I think Fable has a different setup, but I think it will be like that.

Haha awesome! Loving the Gold/Blue and White/Blue, I'd be stuck inbetween them for a choice! But overall I'd just be happy with a simple Paladin-like sword, typical holy-looking shiny heavinly sword to kill undead/ demons with. Im seriously going to be upset if I kill undead and it looks like my sword belongs to some long dead necromancer!

Careful GamerNewb, I never said that was WHAT it was, I said it probably is what it MIGHT be.

That's me guess anyway.

Weird, if you want to be a necro, you'll need to kill Undead.

Paladin? Kill Holy Monks...

Then again I may be wrong.

Yeah, hopefully it might do with your alignment. Maybe if you're on the evil side if you killed undead the sword would look typicaly evil. Or, if you're good maybe by killing undead it will change depending on that?

Re: 80k+ Weapon Combinations? Wut?

Here's what I figured.

If you hit slow, power up flourishes etc, you'll get an axe or hammer.

If you hit fast and quick, you'll get a cutlass, or sword.

This will determine Shape and Model.

---------------------

If you are evil, you'll get an evil looking weapon, like a dark color scheme.

Good players might get a light color scheme.

----------------------

Killing a lot of certain people will then add stuff onto it, such as bones, fur, cloth, bloodstains, etc.

----------------------

And then again, I may be wrong.

But that's what I suspect.

My good sir, if they do not go by this system in Fable 3 I suggest taking your ideas to them for their next game. I'm going to be honest, your ideas seems very, very good!

 

[tjbyrum1]

Re: 80k+ Weapon Combinations? Wut?

Well, hopefully we'll see them in III.

Ya know, I actually thought Fable 2 was good, so no matter what, 3 will be good in my book no doubt.

Thanks though.

I like changing things, and then watching how it unfolds.

You can choose what weapon will you use... hammer, sword or what ever...
Only they stats and looks morph... not the type of weapon...

Re: 80k+ Weapon Combinations? Wut?

I was under the impression that your weapon will only be affected based on what you use it for (and as a result your alignment). Perhaps that's changed since I last heard from it. I can't remember PM, or anyone at Lionhead for that matter, mentioning that the weapon will change based on what you kill. I vaguely remember something about it glowing brightly if used for good, or dripping with blood or something if used for evil. That was a while back so they may have just been conceptual ideas.

 

[Arseface]

Re: 80k+ Weapon Combinations? Wut?

He definitely said that it will change based on what you kill, your alignment, how you use it and even gamerscore.

Re: 80k+ Weapon Combinations? Wut?

I really hope the weapon designing isn't on how you play I'd rather have customizable weapons after you do certain things like if you do kill a ton of ,lets say, Balverines and maybe Hollow men. I think we should choose in like an options menu what to make it look like sure it be cool to see your sword "evolve" during your game but some people will like if they chose one sword for certain enemies but also one sword or axe or other weapon for just complete pwnage...you see what I'm saying? well to shorten it up I think we need like an "outfit chooser" for weapons...is the basic gist. but instead of headgear and pants it's blade and handle

it's already confirmed that it's based on how you play. in the event you don't like your level 0v3r 9000 L01!!!11 katana you can just pick up a new katana and start from scratch.

if that's not good enough for you then you can also
A) be really anal (lol...anal) where you take each sword so they all look exactly how you want or
B) just buy someone elses sword over xbox live
